Winnie ille Pu
There was a splendid piece on the BBC Radio 4 programme "Front Row" tonight, about translations of children's books into "dead" languages, the most recent being a rendering of Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit into ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The particular challenges this presented were compared with those experienced by the translators of the classic Latin version of Winnie the Pooh (Winnie ille Pu) and an ancient Greek version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Made me feel proud to be part of a culture which boasts such civilized pursuits.
